Certificates of Occupancy

No building or structure shall be used or occupied, and no change in the existing occupancy classification of a building, structure, or portion thereof shall be made until the Commissioner of Building has issued a Certificate of Occupancy.

All work done under all permits issued for the proposed project must be completed and inspected to the satisfaction of the Building Department, Fire Department, and any other departments or agencies having jurisdiction for the project.

Complete a Building Short Form and choose the Updated and Substitute CO type to initiate the process. When the form is filled out and the necessary fee is paid, a code enforcement officer will arrange to inspect the premises for compliance and issuance of the C/O.

A Temporary Certificate of Occupancy is $75. One and two family C/O's are $75. Condominium price is $75 / unit with a minimum of $300. Multifamily dwellings / hotels are $25 / unit with minimum of $300.

A Certificate of Compliance is issued for additions and alterations to buildings not normally requiring a Certificate of Occupancy. Examples would be decks, additions, and alterations to buildings that do not change the use. A Certificate of Compliance should be obtained for all work under a building permit. It is the owners guarantee that the work was done properly and inspected by this department.
